🔖 ABOUT THE LECTURE
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
▸In this talk, we will start from the general motivation behind Explainable Artificial Intelligence (xAI) and point out the advantages of using natural language explanations (NLEs). However, NLEs, as well as other xAI methods, face difficulties in providing both plausible and faithful explanations, i.e. explanations that are trusted by users and reflect the real decision-making process of the AI model. We will illustrate this problem for two NLE methods for item recommendation and image classification tasks. In addition, we will explore simple NLE techniques for improving faithfulness while maintaining high plausibility.

▸The history of Linguistic Mondays dates back to the 1980s and their original aim was to make both the students and the faculty members as well as the wider research community aware of the field of computational linguistics in general and of the results achieved by the members of our team in particular. During the years, with the growing awareness of the domain and with new trends appearing on the scene and with more master and doctoral students coming in, the scope of the topics introduced has broadened correspondingly, covering all aspects of the field from the basics of computational linguistics, its linguistic and formal background through corpora case studies and natural language processing applications such as machine translation and information retrieval up to the most modern trends including machine learning. It is also offers an excellent opportunity for PhD students to present their results and to receive a relevant response from leading experts in the field.
